I was able to use Formulator's command "CONNECT
Formulator's Web interface gives administrators access to all of the device's functions and connections to all network devices. Although the interface is easy to navigate, it is slow--too slow to use all the time. To leverage the CLI interface, I had to learn Formulator's command line. Fortunately, the character help was good, and the CLI proved much faster than using the Web interface.
You'll need to set up three types of groups: users, devices and actions. User groups list users as members; device groups, devices. Action groups define specific Formulator actions, such as "get config," "create user" and "list config." The list is long and divided into reading configurations, writing configurations and Formulator administration.
To control and manage access to infrastructure configurations you must create permissions. I gave a group of NWC Inc. lab personnel both read and write permissions on routers and switches in our three labs. I created another permission for Syracuse University network engineers, letting them read and write switch configurations and routers on their network. I kept administration rights to Formulator.
Mixing It Up
To realize the benefits of cloud-native software, an application must actually be cloud-native—designed to run in the cloud, interacting with disaggregated cloud services, fully manageable as code—to deliver the expected benefits.
By combining resources and expertise, the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium will offer a blueprint for how industries can adapt to an AI-dominated future.
IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
